script CA DR group creation

[Caleb Rector]

I am using CA to move disks to a different datacenter/array. I have about 150 disks that I need to put into DR groups. Is there anyway to add them to a group other then one at a time through the commandview GUI? Perhaps a commandline solution?

If "CA" means "CA-EVA", you can use SSSU (Storage System Scripting Utility) to build data replication groups, do the virtual disk presentation, perform the failover, etc.

Set up one DR-group as an example via CV-EVA and then do a "CAPTURE CONFIGURATION filespec". Now you can use the contents of the file as an example how to build the DR-group and do the vdisk presentation.

There is an extra file on the documentation CD or the CV-EVA webpage that describes SSSU.

Thanks Uwe Zessin.

I was able to find a document on it the command syntax to do this is:

ADD DR_GROUP dr_group_name VDISK=virtual_disk_name DESTINATION_SYSTEM=
destination_array_name

you can find it in the document "SSSU Scripting Manual.pdf"
